Mortals used to wield the Divine Power of the Righteous Gods for outrageous acts that violated the teachings of the Orthodox Church. Eventually, some Righteous Gods, unhappy with this misuse, withdrew their blessings. Immediately, these mortals had an epiphany and understood how to use Divine Power, even conjuring similar powers themselves!
Such as the group currently revising the Hope Game.
Their hope comes from within, not activated by the God of Hope. Rather than being the Light of Hope, it's more like the "sidelight" of hope. When the God of Hope tried to draw the Power of Hope from these mortals for study, they directly refused, declaring, "We hope your hope is hopeless," bypassing the God of Hope's retrieval using inexplicable tongue-twisting BUGs.
"You're just a game developer; you don't understand the essence of this game." A player from the Fifth Epoch criticized!
"Alright, you are the God of Hope now."
